Hitting us with his fourth single of the year, Teddy at Night returns with an anthemic and raw interpretation of love in ‘Blueberry Water’.
This alt-pop tune grabs your attention with a drum intro that will make fans of The 1975 very excited, before taking us away into Teddy’s world of magnificent storytelling and excellent production. Discussing the track’s conception, Teddy at Night says,
“I grew up literally having dreams where I was held by someone I was able to be vulnerable with. Never understood what it meant until I met my impossible match. My eyes were open to a world I never knew existed. Recognizing the beauty in the struggle. The best love is messy and limitless. This song aims to capture a raw interpretation of modern love. Vulnerability and surrender.”
